Here, exclusive to Spooky Isles, is just a small sample of my most beloved locations, and their paranormal stories. I gathered together these sightings and compiled them in my book Mike Covell Investigates – Haunted East Yorkshire, and spent many hours researching each location. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I spent many months in the archives and local studies libraries, seeking out old documents, books, newspaper reports, magazines, and various other articles that looked into such sightings.
East Yorkshire is no stranger to these wonderful ghost stories, and throughout the years I have travelled to numerous towns, villages, and hamlets, meeting with locals, and documenting their experiences and sightings.
